Agricultural technologies for decision-makers: TAAT technology database and e-catalogs
Summary
The cornerstone of The African Development Bank’s “Feed Africa” campaign is the Technologies for African Agricultural Transformation (TAAT). TAAT is developing a database of agricultural technology and accompanying e-catalogs, showcasing technologies validated to ensure their scalability and benefits. The database and e-catalogs will connect potential agricultural technology adopters in the public and private sectors with the researchers and companies developing them and will provide guidance and advice to adopters.
